Chapter 172 Coming for Torture

When Mu Nanjin returned to Yueqiu Palace, she immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace.

The palace was very quiet, and there were no lights in the room where Leng Shi and the others lived. Then she saw Zhi Dan and Yi Qing fainted on the ground.

Mu Nanjin quickly released her consciousness to check, and saw Feng Shuang hiding in the big tree behind her. She quickly turned around and slapped the tree.

There was a loud bang, followed by screams.

After Feng Shuang was beaten to Yue Qiu Palace, he fell to the ground and vomited blood.

He knew that he was no match for Mu Nanjin, so he hurriedly got up and fled.

Mu Nanjin chased after him.

Feng Shuang is also shrewd, running and shouting: "There are assassins, there are assassins."

The patrolling guards nearby immediately rushed towards the sound.

Mu Nanjin knew that Feng Shuang still had many magic weapons to protect him, and it was impossible to kill him with one blow before the guards arrived.

In order not to embarrass Gong Xiurong with the crime of assassinating the imperial master, she retreated to Yueqiu Palace.

Feng Shuang was relieved to see that Mu Nanjin did not come after him.

Not long after, Leng Shi and the others returned to Yueqiu Palace.

"master."

They looked apologetic.

Yu Wenshen said: "After we fought with that person, we found out that he was no match and quickly escaped from Yueqiu Palace."

Che Jinglan snorted coldly: "He couldn't beat us originally, but the magical weapon on his body was so powerful that he suppressed us."

Mu Nanjin did not blame them: "You can carry Zhidan and the others back to the room and rest."

"yes."

After they left, Gong Xiurong came.

He quickly asked with concern: "An Zhi, I heard that there are assassins near Yueqiu Palace, are you okay?"

"It's just someone shouting "Catch the thief."

Mu Nanjin told what happened just now.

Gong Xiurong said angrily: "The Imperial Master is becoming more and more bold, and he even dares to take action in the palace."

"He didn't want to kill me, he just wanted to test my abilities. After this time, he will definitely not come again. If I can divert his attention, you will have the opportunity to remove all the forces behind the Queen Mother."

Mu Nanjin didn't understand the affairs of the court, so he could only help Gong Xiurong point out who did what behind his back. As for how to deal with it, it was up to Gong Xiurong to solve it. After all, the family influence behind some officials was deep-rooted and could not be removed immediately. , and some officials can’t handle it just because they say they can.

Gong Xiurong was very grateful to Mu Nanjin: "Thank you."

"I'm not helping you for free. When things are done, I hope you can agree to one thing."

Gong Xiurong knew that she wanted a token: "As long as I can do it, the definition is unconditional."

In fact, regardless of whether she helped or not, the fact that she had saved him and helped him return to Dongzhao smoothly was enough for him to give her the token.

But she didn't use this kindness to ask him to repay her kindness, so she knew that she really wanted to help her.

In the next five days, officials on Gong Xiurong's side all knew that Mu Nanjin could reveal her true feelings, and that she knew some unknown secrets.

Some officials did not believe in evil. When they learned that Mu Nanjin was in the imperial study, they happily ran to the imperial study to 'discuss matters' with the emperor on official business.

But in less than a quarter of an hour, the officials either left with a dark face or walked out of the imperial study room holding back their anger. They felt that they were here to torture him.

How comfortable it is to lie down at home.

They had to come here so cheaply to have their secrets revealed. Not only did the emperor know about his scandal, but Tiao also knew about his unknown secrets.

Oh, no, it can no longer be called a secret.

What is known to everyone is not considered a secret.

While Gong Xiurong was dealing with the Queen Mother's influence, Mu Nanjin was not idle either.

The girls who were previously selected into the palace came to visit one after another. Firstly, they wanted to have a relationship with her. Secondly, they wanted to be lucky enough to meet the emperor when they came to Yueqiu Palace, and then be favored by the emperor and gain favor.

Mu Nanjin knew their little thoughts but did not expose them. She felt very happy when she heard them praise her.

No wonder everyone likes to hear good things, even she felt relieved after hearing it.

As the noon meal time approached, Mu Nanjin said to the ten Cai Nu: "The emperor will come to Yueqiu Palace to have a meal at noon. I also wanted to keep you down to have a meal together. However, the portion of the noble meal is not large, and the food in the palace is not so good." It’s ridiculously expensive, and I, a daughter of a small county magistrate, really can’t afford more food to serve you, so please forgive me.”

The Cai Nus looked at each other, and Yu Cai Nu, who was sitting at the front, smiled and said: "Sister Noble, you are so polite. We have already caused you a lot of trouble by coming here every day. It is an honor for us that you don't mind our intrusion. We dare not I don’t expect to have dinner at your Yueqiu Palace again.”

Wu Cainv, who was sitting opposite Yu Cainu, continued: "Speaking of which, we haven't given my sister a meeting gift yet."

She stood up and took out a light blue money bag embroidered with gold flowers: "This is the money bag I brought from home. On it are brocade fish and peach blossoms embroidered by the famous Su embroidery, which means wealth and auspiciousness. Please don't buy it, sister." dislike."

Mu Nanjin pretended to be embarrassed: "This..."

"Please sister, please don't be polite to me."

Wu Cainv handed the money bag to her.

"Then thank you sister."

Mu Nanjin took the money bag and felt that there were other things inside. She used her spiritual sense to check it and found that it actually contained 10,000 taels of silver notes.

As expected of a young lady from a big family, she is generous with her money.

Others also found reasons to take out their money bags and give them to Mu Nanjin. The total amount of silver notes in them was fifty thousand taels.

She suddenly felt happy and immediately left the ten women to have a meal, and then sent someone to the imperial dining room to inform the imperial chef to prepare more dishes.

Other nobles do stipulate the portion of meals, but there is no such rule here.

Gongxiu Rong had already decreed that she would have food, cakes and fruits at her disposal.

At noon, the emperor who the girls had longed for finally arrived.

"The Emperor has arrived."

The girls stood up happily. After many days in the palace, they could finally show their faces in front of the emperor.

If the emperor takes a fancy to them, the money they spend will be nothing.

When Gong Xiurong entered Yueqiu Palace and saw a group of Cai Nu kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but be startled.

"I have met the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Mu Nanjin made a simple salute and got up.

The other girls were kneeling on the ground.

Gongxiu Rong said: "Stand flat."

He turned to Mu Nanjin and said, "It's really lively today."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "My sisters came to accompany me to relieve my boredom, so I left them here to have a meal. Your Majesty won't blame me for taking matters into your own hands, right?"

[They spent 50,000 taels of silver just for this meal, how could I have the nerve not to keep them, hehe. 】

The male cultivator looked ashamed, feeling like he had been betrayed: "No."

After he took his seat, others took their seats.

The girls were very attentive and always looked for opportunities to attract the emperor's attention. They didn't want Gong Xiurong to focus all his thoughts on Mu Nanjin's voice.

[Ten pickers came today and made fifty thousand taels. If ten pickers come tomorrow, wouldn’t I make another fifty thousand taels? Hehe, the palace concubine’s money is really easy to make. 】

[If you invite concubines as guests, will you make more money? 】

[Well... I feel like I am becoming more and more like an old bustard, and Xiao Xiurong is the butler in my hands. 】

[Alas, it turns out that sooner or later, I will have to pay back what I sold. I didn’t make any money from Xiao Rong in Daqian Kingdom. Now I have to make enough money when I come to Dongzhao Kingdom. 】
